What is the Early World of Learning?

The Early World of Learning stimulates a lifelong love of reading and knowledge and offers a wealth of resources to help preschoolers and children in the early grades grasp critical early childhood themes while developing reading and oral language skills. Narrated stories with word-by-word highlighting, interactive games, interactive reference material for beginners, and more help young learners build vocabulary, comprehension, phonics, and reading fluency.
